- <h2 id="synopsis">SYNOPSIS</h2>
- <pre><code>npm view [<@scope>/]<name>[@<version>] [<field>[.<subfield>]...]
-
- aliases: info, show, v</code></pre><h2 id="description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
- <p>This command shows data about a package and prints it to the stream
- referenced by the <code>outfd</code> config, which defaults to stdout.</p>
- <p>To show the package registry entry for the <code>connect</code> package, you can do
- this:</p>
- <pre><code>npm view connect</code></pre><p>The default version is "latest" if unspecified.</p>
- <p>Field names can be specified after the package descriptor.
- For example, to show the dependencies of the <code>ronn</code> package at version
- 0.3.5, you could do the following:</p>
- <pre><code>npm view ronn@0.3.5 dependencies</code></pre><p>You can view child fields by separating them with a period.
- To view the git repository URL for the latest version of npm, you could
- do this:</p>
- <pre><code>npm view npm repository.url</code></pre><p>This makes it easy to view information about a dependency with a bit of
- shell scripting. For example, to view all the data about the version of
- opts that ronn depends on, you can do this:</p>
- <pre><code>npm view opts@$(npm view ronn dependencies.opts)</code></pre><p>For fields that are arrays, requesting a non-numeric field will return
- all of the values from the objects in the list. For example, to get all
- the contributor names for the "express" project, you can do this:</p>
- <pre><code>npm view express contributors.email</code></pre><p>You may also use numeric indices in square braces to specifically select
- an item in an array field. To just get the email address of the first
- contributor in the list, you can do this:</p>
- <pre><code>npm view express contributors[0].email</code></pre><p>Multiple fields may be specified, and will be printed one after another.
- For example, to get all the contributor names and email addresses, you
- can do this:</p>
- <pre><code>npm view express contributors.name contributors.email</code></pre><p>"Person" fields are shown as a string if they would be shown as an
- object. So, for example, this will show the list of npm contributors in
- the shortened string format. (See <code><a href="../files/package.json.html">package.json(5)</a></code> for more on this.)</p>
- <pre><code>npm view npm contributors</code></pre><p>If a version range is provided, then data will be printed for every
- matching version of the package. This will show which version of jsdom
- was required by each matching version of yui3:</p>
- <pre><code>npm view yui3@'>0.5.4' dependencies.jsdom</code></pre><p>To show the <code>connect</code> package version history, you can do
- this:</p>
- <pre><code>npm view connect versions</code></pre><h2 id="output">OUTPUT</h2>
- <p>If only a single string field for a single version is output, then it
- will not be colorized or quoted, so as to enable piping the output to
- another command. If the field is an object, it will be output as a JavaScript object literal.</p>
- <p>If the --json flag is given, the outputted fields will be JSON.</p>
- <p>If the version range matches multiple versions, than each printed value
- will be prefixed with the version it applies to.</p>
- <p>If multiple fields are requested, than each of them are prefixed with
- the field name.</p>
